Proverbs 8:8-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.
9
They are all straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
10
Accept my instruction and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11
For wisdom is better than jewels;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her.
12
'I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And I find knowledge
and
discretion.
13
The fear of the
Lord
is to hate evil;
Pride, arrogance, the evil way,
And the perverted mouth, I hate.
14
Advice is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, power is mine.
15
By me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.
16
By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
King James Version
Chapter 8
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13
The fear of the
Lord
is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
8
All the words from my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.
9
All of them are clear to the perceptive,
and right to those who discover knowledge.
10
Accept my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11
For wisdom is better than jewels,
and nothing desirable can equal it.
12
I, wisdom, share a home with shrewdness
and have knowledge and discretion.
13
To fear the
Lord
is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.
14
I possess good advice and sound wisdom;
I have understanding and strength.
15
It is by me that kings reign
and rulers enact just law;
16
by me, princes lead,
as do nobles and all righteous judges.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
8
My advice is wholesome.
There is nothing devious or crooked in it.
9
My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
clear to those with knowledge.
10
Choose my instruction rather than silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11
For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
Nothing you desire can compare with it.
12
'I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
13
All who fear the
Lord
will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech.
14
Common sense and success belong to me.
Insight and strength are mine.
15
Because of me, kings reign,
and rulers make just decrees.
16
Rulers lead with my help,
and nobles make righteous judgments.
English Standard Version
